This is why I hate new players

People like this ruined the original Genshin experience for me. Back in the days, the compass didn't show the treasure icon. You still need to explore around making the experience feel rewarding, even though their chest reward are shit. Now compass (only nodkrai) show all treasures and even the culus, and people still complaining.
I think Genshin should stop being open world and turn to stage like menu, like early HI3 and other gacha game.

This has to be ragebait, he described the treasure compass way to accurately.

They’re asking for a stronger treasure compass

Look at the Mini Map, the treasure compass is active

This is what you get when you raise a generation on Ubisoft slop

Lmao, Genshin's open world design is pure Ubislop.

As someone who wants Genshin to be accessible to as many people is possible, I'm not sure I understand where this post is going.

Yes, I understand that often new features retcon old efforts to encourage greater play and discovery, but more-veteran players can always choose to not utilize those items, if they don't wish. But I'm still glad these newer features and QOL improvements are being introduced. I know several non-gamers who've gotten into Genshin (including a 65yo coworker) who appreciate the functionality.

Perhaps I just find the phrase "why I hate new players" a bit harsh. Yes, this poster in the picture is definitely a little whiny, but assuming it's not ragebait I think they should be left to their thoughts.

OP looks at vintage struggle through rose tinted glasses, but at the same time can't bare to see anyone not go through the same nonsense.

This reminds me of people in society in the form of life struggles. The notion of giving the disadvantaged a leg up is against their purist views, and so they in turn vote against their own best interest and we as a society are held back.

Warning, shameless plug (please ignore if uninterested):
>!This is one of many reasons why a friend and I started [our archival project](https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromTheHoyoverse/).!<

It's so incredibly important to me, as a self-proclaimed MiHoYo superfan, that people of all skills, abilities, backgrounds, and knowledge levels get to experience MiHoYo games. If additional features, difficulty modifiers, or other additions allow more people to experience the game >!(my tears for Focalors' sacrifice, the adrenaline-induced fear of the Musou no Hitoutachi, my confusion during the Sumerian samsaras, my awe at the appearance of Khaj-Nisut)!<, then I'm all for it.

The age of forcing others to struggle because it's somehow viewed as character-building is necessarily over. Art of all forms should be accessible. There are artforms with greater challenges for those who wish to feel the pain again. The developers adding these features is a willful demonstration of their desire to connect with more people, and I applaud that.

Look, I'm not here to insult or put anyone down. I understand that gacha games have a demograhic with demonstrated behaviors. I can only hope folks make good decisions and not hold it against those who feel differently than they do.

I know sentimental enabling attitudes get downvotes, but I prefer to pull for the positive. :)

As day one player I like they show you oculus, i used interactive map before but for me was a nuisance,i had to alt+tab check it and go back in the game which ruined my gameplay 'flow' , now i grab what i see and use the compass when i missed some.

Also i still do not use the compass as soon a anew region is released ,i explore get the chest during my journey and only when i am at 90-95% use the compass, this is what i did in the past and what i still do it with the new compass,

so in the end is a matter of choice,you can still have your old genshin experience.

Furthermore the original experience was **without the use of** compass since the first two region compass was released with 1,1 patch.

Thank you genshin for not demanding DAYS off of my time allowing me to actually do other stuff im interested jn. If you can relocate chests primos into other stuff so that theres even less itd be even better

I hated the original compass, it only showed the direction, but Nod Krai compass went too far, made exploration too easy and fast.

InukoJon2026-01-18 00:57

Do people get elitist over exploration powercreep in this game? That’s kinda pathetic lmao. I for one am all for a better new player experience. Im glad the NK compass is as op as it is. If you feel like it takes away from something you are free to not use it and use interactive map like it’s 2020 lol.

issm2026-01-18 01:29

Everyone acts elitist over the part of the game they personally like the most, and pretend like their part of the game is the only part that matters.

Story/lore mains are the worst in this subreddit.

InukoJon2026-01-18 01:32

Yeah. If you even think of the phrase “skip button” they will fill their diapies and cry at you.

Sad-Bowl-83742026-01-18 01:47

I think the old compass worked fine until 90% completion. It was very tedious to find the last remaining chests. Especially in big areas like Liyue regions.

CoconutxKitten2026-01-18 05:43

Know what’s great? You don’t have to use the compass & can leave it to us who enjoy it!
